FIRES BACK AT SOCIAL MEDIA HATERS WITH THE NEW SINGLE ‘LOVE TO HATE ME’ 
LISTEN HERE
Lex Gibbon makes empowering, playful pop infused with a serious message. Her recent single ‘Audacity’ was a prime example: a true story of Lex being intimidated by a random stranger, which highlighted the British Transport Police’s Text 61016 service. It was a track that took Lex to new audiences, with fresh support from BBC NewsBBC IntroducingDaily StarEvening Standard and ITV adding to her previous Radio 1 Future Pop airplay from Mollie King.
 
There’s a power that comes with dictating your own narrative, and Lex has never sounded as confident as she does on ‘Love To Hate Me’. Its opening verse paints a scathing picture of the type of person who targets her on social media: old enough to know better with nothing positive going on in their life. But it’s the hook that really pops, a gleeful group singalong which declares that she just doesn’t care what you have to say about her. Listen HERE.
 
As with the majority of her songs, Lex has translated a personal experience into a song which offers sisterly advice and a hug of support to people going through similar experiences.
 
Lex says, “‘Love To Hate Me’ is a massive middle finger to all of the haters! It’s a message to anyone that may be receiving hate online, it’s hard to not get wrapped up in social media but it’s so important to remember that there is a big wide world out there and so many people who love you. At the end of the day there will always be some people who just love to hate.”
 
‘Love To Hate Me’ is Lex’s latest collaboration with writer/producer duo INK, who also worked on ‘Audacity’.
 
Inspired by strong lyricists such as Dylan and Taylor SwiftLex’s own songs address all manner of coming-of-age struggles, ranging from heartache to body confidence and the realisation that discovering who you really are can take some time. Her style is outspoken and conversational, but fun and affecting too – a blend that shines proudly on her previous EP  ‘I’ve Got Something To Say’.
 
Lex’s life story is one in which struggles are surpassed by her successes. She was bullied intensely in childhood, but became the first curve teen model to walk at all of the iconic fashion weeks – London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles – which made her an in-demand collaborator for brands including GymsharkNextSt TropezRiver Island and Pepe Jeans. But she also wanted to set an example that could help other young people through their issues, something which she is now achieving with growing accomplishment as her music career takes off. Her songs are an extension of a time-honoured truth: a problem shared is a problem halved.
